KUALA LUMPUR: Public Bank and Hong Leong Bank helped shore up the FBM KLCI in early Wednesday trade but again the broader market was cautious as the MCO 3.0 came into effect throughout the nation.
At 9.13am, the KLCI was up 1.82 points or 0.12% to 1,579.46. Turnover was 282.86 million shares valued at RM162.70mil. There were 190 gainers, 267 losers and 297 counters unchanged.
Asian stocks and US equity futures fell Wednesday after a drop on Wall Street amid concern that faster inflation and the surge in commodities could test the recovery from the pandemic, Bloomberg reported.
